Hello,

aarch64-gnu support is coming too :)

Could you add a hurd-amd64 case in dpkg?

Thanks,
Samuel

Yes, I noticed! :)

I've added hurd-arm64 support into the following branch:

https://git.hadrons.org/cgit/debian/dpkg/dpkg.git/log/?h=pu/arch-hurd-arm64

but even though I've seen already some toolchain patches flying by,
AFAIUI there's still no GNU Mach support, so I think I'd prefer to
wait until that materializes, as per the FAQ entry on new ports. I
don't think this would block anything right now anyway, no?

BTW, I've assumed that port would also enable PIE by default in the
toolchain, if not, let me know and I can fix that up in the branch.

Thanks,
Guillem

Ok.

I've hacked by chroot to add the arch to be able to build packages
already ;)

I was mostly anticipating this piece of the port which is needed for
proper set up of most of the rest :)
